Have been away for a week in JianXi, China.
One of the main activities was to climb up SanQing Shan ( Mountain).
The cable car took us to about 1,400m high, from which we hiked to the top at about 1,800m.
We saw trees, squirrels, some flowers and butterflies, the mountain formation was indeed magnificent.
On one day, we walked for more than 4 hours, covering over 15km.
This picture shows the head of the fairy overlooking the valley.
This is my first break after 6 months of my mom’s operation.
Thought that mom is becoming stable after the surgery; on coming back from the trip, she has a bit of maybe fibroma in her skin of her abdomen. However, we could be heading for a new challenge; hope God will assist her with her health and with her recovery after the operation.
I hope you continue to enjoy my pictures!

I’m very envious mate… My Humans have been there but not done the hike, You lucky bugger. It is such a lovely part of the world and for some reason less traveled by the West!

It is always rainy there. We were fortunate to have sunshine. Visitors there the following day only found rain.
Always. I wish your mother a speedy recovery and am sorry to hear she has been so poorly. Dan
Many thanks for the kind thoughts which is much appreciated. Regards, Michael
I am so sorry to hear of your mom’s struggles to recover. I pray the Lord touches her for a speedy recovery.
Many thanks for your prayers at the time of her surgery and now – deeply appreciated! Regards, Michael
Fantastic capture and hopefully the consultants will know what is the cause to your mum’s medical problems soon.
Thanks for the kind comment.
I hope the Lord will guide and help mom on this. Regards, Michael
Breathtaking pictures. Prayers for your mom. ~Julia
Hi Julia, no another operation or medication will save her, only prayers – grateful for your prayers. Regards, Michael
Glad you took a break. Now I hadn’t thought about the possibility of a fibroma. It is indeed possible. But to be sure, she needs to see a reliable doctor. Are you progressing on that? 🙂
No, mom is refusing to have another consultation.
My brother visited her and concluded that where there is a lump or air pocket coincides with a previous key hole where the surgeon has cut to release air in the colon laparoscopy. This seems to tie in with what the (clinic for elderly) doctor said – an air pocket. However, I still don’t have an answer for why there is an air pocket now and whether it is actually an air pocket.
One can totally understand our old parents to be a bit “stubborn” (to put it mildly). Now if both your brother and yourself insist and insist (and insist) gently, she might change her mind. Difficult I know. (I’ve been there) You lose nothing insisting. 🙂
Problem is my siblings may not agree with me. But I will insist and insist . . . . .
